Re: What Ever Happened to the Radial Arm Saw?

While working part time in a custom furniture shop in the 60's, I was shown how innacurate the radial arm saw can be. Sure, you can adjust it to be accurate, but push it laterally and it very willingly changes course. But while building my own house, part time, in the 80's I discovered how well it cut ganged studs. It still has its place but should never be anyone's first major tool. That should be a table saw.
